The way I read it, the new spelling lof that would be the explicit but not discouraged image.vindex[rr, cc].

If I'm understanding correctly what can be achieved now by arr[rr, cc] would have to be modified to use arr.vindex[rr, cc], which is a very large change in behaviour. I suspect that there a lot of situations out there which use arr[idxs] where idxs can mean one of a range of things depending on the code path followed. If any of those change, or a mix of nomenclatures are required to access the different cases, then havoc will probably ensue. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
